1. Yesterday...Today...AND Tomorrow 昨天，今天，还有明天

There are two days in every week that we should not worry about, two days that should
be kept free from fear and apprehension.
One is Yesterday, with its mistakes and cares, its faults and
blunders, its aches and pains.
Yesterday has passed, forever beyond our control.
All the money in the world cannot bring back Yesterday.
We cannot undo a single act we performed.
Nor can we erase a single word we said - Yesterday is gone!
The other day we shouldn't worry about is Tomorrow with its
impossible adversities, its burdens, its large promise and poor
performance. Tomorrow is beyond our immediate control.
Tomorrow's sun will rise, either in splendor or behind a mask of
clouds - but it will rise. Until it does, we have no stake in Tomorrow, for it is
yet unborn.
This leaves only one day - Today. Any man can fight the battles
of just one day; it is only when you or I add the burdens of those two awful eternities-
Yesterday and Tomorrow- that we break down.
It is not the experience of Today that drives man mad -
It is remorse or bitterness for something which happened Yesterday, and the dread
of what Tomorrow may bring.
Let us, therefore, live One Day at a Time!
每个礼拜有两天我们不用去担心，没有恐惧，没有忧愁。
其中一天是昨天，有过错误和忧虑、过失和失误、辛酸和痛苦。
昨天已经过去，不再受我们控制。
世界上所有的钱都不能把昨天带回来。我们不能为过去的事反悔，
1
v1.0 可编辑可修改
我们不能擦去我们说过的每一个字，因为，昨天已经过去了。
另一天我们不用担心的是明天，明天可能有逆境、负担，
即有着很大的希望，又有糟糕的表现。明天同样不为我们所控制。
明天的太阳会升起，不管它是光芒四射还是笼罩着云彩，它一定会升起来。
直到它出现之前，我们对于明天没有任何把握，因为它还没有发生。
只剩下一天——今天。任何人都只能生活在“今天”；
当你我背负起永远存在的“昨天”和“明天”带来的压力，我们就会被压垮。
使一个人发疯的不是今天的遭遇，而是昨天的悲伤或痛苦和对明天的恐惧。
因此，让我们过好生活中的每一天。










2. Confidence

Every day is a new day in our life.

There is much to do today.

The early morning sun inspires us to start things freshly and put back our past.

Only a handful of us make use of this fresh bunch of energy.

In various wills of life this affects the way we behave and our confidence level.

Confidence is a key to survive in this world.

2
v1.0 可编辑可修改
It is the only key tool to win the rat race in every walk of life.

Confidence in ones owns capabilities combined with sincere efforts help one to
achieve unthinkable heights.

But many times we see that this basic element of confidence is missing in us.

As a result of lack of confidence we perform well below our caliber.

Be it in a public speech, proposing your beloved, visas for your college or in an
interview or say even on the eve before your exams.

This can be due to fear of being rejected or any other reason.

If we look into our hearts and think, we will come to know that fear inside us I
going to get us nowhere.

The confidence inside us is going to take us places.

This is because with confidence we can put our thoughts into words in a better and
pleasing way.

So we have to get out of that shell where we think whether people will accept us
as we are

Instead of living in these unending moments of fear and thoughtless analysis, it
is better if we project ourselves with the skills we have with the gloss of
confidence.

With confidence we can portray the finer points of our personality in such a way
that the places where we do lack are never highlighted.
3
v1.0 可编辑可修改

Confidence should glow in us only till the point where our personality is boosted.

Above this it leads to over- confidence that is harmful.

Over- confidence results in unsatisfied performance levels as the seed of ego grows
into a plant into our mind.

We then imagine and make big talks just to maintain our ego.

So guys don’t let the seed of ego to germinate in your mind, as this seed should
be used only for you to live up to your expectations.

Confidence is all about being cool, calm and composed.

So guys do you have it in you

If you think you don't, boost up yourselves as your mind is your greatest mentor.

You are your greatest helper.






3. Mistakes

Mistakes and errors are the disciplined true which we advance in life. Mistakes are
great teachers. Success comes to those who are willing to risk making mistakes in
the pursuit of their goals and aspirations, and who are able to learn from those
mistakes. And in order to learn from mistakes you must be willing to pay for them.

4
v1.0 可编辑可修改
Mistakes can be enormously valuable, but when you try to get others to pay for your
mistakes, then you deprive yourself of the opportunity to learn from them. When
something goes wrong, it's usually very easy to find someone else to blame, but what
does that really accomplish

Much of the value of mistakes comes from the fact that they demand a cost that must
be paid. The person who learns the most from a mistake is the person who pays the
price for that mistake.

When you make a mistake, the last thing you want to do is run away from it. You need
to accept it because you can learn a lot from it. The mistake has been made, so make
the most of it. Pay the price, learn the lesson, and grow that much stronger.

When you make a mistake, don't look back at it long. Remember the reason for it,
and then look forward. Mistakes are lessons of wisdom. The past cannot be changed.
The present is still in your power. Take full advantage of your mistakes to achieve
your goals and aspirations.

过失和错误让我们辨别是非,帮助我们 前进。错误是伟大的老师。成功总是眷顾那些敢于冒
着犯错的危险去追求他们的目标和理想,并善于从错 误中吸取教训的人。为了从过失中吸取
教训,你必须愿意为之付出代价。

错误可能 具有巨大的价值,但是如果你想让别人来为你的错误付出代价,那你就丧失了从错
误中学习的机会。当出 了差错时,去责备他人总是很容易的。但是那又有什么用呢

错误的价值在很大程度上体现为 人们必须为所犯的错误付出代价。从错误中学到最多的那个
人就是为之付出代价的人。

当你犯错时,你最不应该做的事情就是逃避错误。你需要接受这个事实,因为你可以从中吸取
5
v1.0 可编辑可修改
很多教训。既然已经犯了错误,就最大限度地利用它。付出代价、得到教训并成长得更加坚
强。

当你犯错时,不要总放在心上。记住犯错的原因,然后向前看。犯错是智慧的课程。过去无法
改变。现在仍在你的手中。利用好你的错误,来实现你的目标和理想。





4. Feed Your Mind 充实你的思想

Since the pre-historic times, man has had an urge to satisfy his needs. Be it hunger,
shelter or search for a mate, he has always manipulated the circumstances to the
best of his advantages. Probably this might be the reason why we human are the most
developed of all living species on the earth, and probably also in the universe.
As we climbed the steps of evolution with giant leaps, we somehow left behind common
sense and logical thinking — we forgot that we have stopped thinking ahead of times.

If you are hungry, what do you do Grab a piece of your favorite meal and stay quiet
after that Just like your stomach, even your mind is hungry. But it never lets you
know, because you keep it busy thinking about your dream lover, favorite star and
many such absurd things. So it silently began to heed to your needs and never let
itself grow. When mind looses its freedom to grow, creativity gets a full stop. This
might be the reason why we all sometimes think
think
of our own karma of using our brain for thinking of not-so-worthy things.

Hunger of the mind can be actually satiated through extensive reading. Now why
reading and not watching TV Because reading has been the most educative tool used
6
v1.0 可编辑可修改
by us right from the childhood. Just like that to develop other aspects of our life,
we have to take help of reading. You have innumerable number of books in this world
which will answer all your “How to” questions. Once you read a book, you just don't
run your eyes through the lines, but even your mind decodes it and explains it to
you. The interesting part of the book is stored in your mind as a seed. Now this
seed is unknowingly used by you in your future to develop new ideas. The same seed
if used many times, can help you link and relate a lot of things, of which you would
have never thought of in your wildest dreams! This is nothing but creativity. More
the number of books you read, your mind will open up like never before. Also this
improves your oratory skills to a large extent and also makes a significant
contribution to your vocabulary. Within no time you start speaking English or any
language fluently with your friends or other people and you never seem to run out
of the right words at the right time.

Actually, I had a problem in speaking English fluently, but as I read, I could improve
significantly. I am still on the path of improvement to quench my thirst for
satisfaction. So guys do join me and give food for your thoughts by reading, reading
and more reading. Now what are you waiting for Go, grab a book, and let me know!

自史前时代起，人类就已有满足自己需求的强烈欲望。无论是饥饿、避难或寻觅配偶，人类
总是 操纵着环境使其达到最利于自己的状态。这或许解答了为什么人类是地球上甚至是宇宙
中最高级的现存物 种。然而在进化的阶梯上取得巨大飞跃之时，我们却不知何故将一些常识
和逻辑思维抛诸脑后了——我们 忘记了自己已经停止了超前思维。

如果你饿了，你会怎么做抓起你最喜爱的美食饱餐一顿， 然后静静地呆在那里而你的大脑也
像你的胃，是会感到饥饿的，但它却从不让你知道，因为你让它一直想 着你的梦中情人、你
最喜爱的明星和许多诸如此类的荒唐事。因此它只是默默地留意着你的需要却从不让 自己成
长。当思维恣意成长时，创造力就嘎然而止。这也许就是为什么我们有时会想“下一步该如
7
v1.0 可编辑可修改
何”、“为什么我想不到”、“为什么我总是碰到难题”的原 因吧。这也是我们的大脑总在考虑
那些毫无价值的事情产生的后果。

事实上，思维 的饥荒可以通过广泛的阅读来满足。为什么是阅读而不是选择看电视呢因为自
孩提时代起，读书就已经是 最具教育性的工具了。正如人生发展的其他方面一样，我们不得
不求助于阅读。世界上有无数书籍可以回 答你“如何做”的问题。读书时不仅要用眼睛浏览
文字，还要用脑去解读、诠释。书中有趣的部分就会像 种子一样贮存在你的脑海里。将来你
会不自觉地运用这粒种子引发新的想法。多次运用这粒种子将有助于 你把许多事情联系起
来，即使你做梦都想不到这些！这不是别的，就是创造力！你读的书越多，你的心智 就会前
所未有地开阔。而且这还会大幅度地提高你的演讲能力、丰富你的词汇量。你很快就能用流
利的英语或别的语言与你的朋友或别人交谈，而且你再也不会在适合的场合缺少适合的词
语。

实际上，我的英语还是不够流利，但只要我阅读，我就会取得显著进步。现在我仍在“自我< br>提高”、为头脑“解渴”的长路上跋涉。请加入到我的行列吧！通过阅读、阅读、再阅读来
为你的 思想“喂食”。你还在等什么现在就拿起一本书让我瞧瞧！



5. Different Strokes of Our Duties(不同的义务)

Life teaches us to live. To live， you have to exist. To exist， you should have
a passport to this living world. Thanks to your parents， who brought you into this
world.

Parents have taken care of us and satisfied all our needs. They helped whenever
we were hungry， afraid or iii. They were always there by you， whenever you needed
them. You almost assented that they would always be there for you and never thought
of how your life would be if without them. But as you grow up， age also catches

v1.0 可编辑可修改
up with your parents and they need your help and support.

Man is a child first， after which he attains his youth. After youth he again goes
through the second phase of childhood， also called as old age. This is the phase
where everyone needs a corn fort of a sense of belonging and being taken care of.
we all expect the Same of security when we grow old Even our parents are expecting
us to be their caretaker， as they grow old. But they never make that obvious to
us. They do their further duty by taking care of their grandchildren， paying e-bills，
giving the clothes for laundry etc.

Isn't it unfair on our part that we aren't giving them what they need the most
It is our prime duty to take the very best care of them. It's our pay back time.
Let's give the same sense of emotional security， care and love to our parents in
their old age.

生活教我们如何生活。要生活，你首先必须存 在。要存在，你应该有一张通往这个世界
的护照。感谢你的父母，是他们把你带到了这个世界。

父母照顾着我们，满足我们所有的需要。无论何时我们饿了、害怕了或病了，他们都会< br>帮助我们。无论何时你需要他们，他们总是在你身边。你几乎认为，他们总会在那里；从没
有想过 ，没有他们你的生活会怎样。但是，当你长大时，你的父母也在变老，他们需要你的
帮助和支持。

人开始时是个小孩，然后他长成一个年轻人。青年期过后，他又经历第二个儿童期，即< br>老年期。这个时期，每个人都需要一种归属感，需要照顾。我们变老时，不也会期盼同样的
安全感 吗我们的父母也希望他们年老时我们会照顾他们。但他们从不向我们明确地说出来。
他们会尽更多的义务 ，照顾利，子孙女，付电子账单的费用，把衣服拿去洗衣店，等等。

我们没有给他们最需要的东西，这是不是不公平尽量照顾好他们是我们的首要义务。是

v1.0 可编辑可修改
该我们回报的时候了。让我们在父母年老时给他们同样的情感安全感、关心和爱。


5. Communication Skills

Communication has been the major ingredient for the up gradation of the apes
into human beings. Before language and the science of semantics were developed,
facial expressions and body movements were the most sought after means for
communication. Slowly the language started shaping up and now we have countless
thousand dialects.

Language is a medium that binds all human beings. It is the unique form, which
has been exploited and used to the maximum by us. But somewhere down the line, we
used it only for the purpose of communication and not for enriching our knowledge
and to increase our market value.

You would be thinking what I am getting at In the following few lines, I will
clear all the question marks in your head. Tell me the number of times you have been
engrossed in a talk or lecture given by someone Maybe it is once or twice. Now the
point to ponder is what was the distinguishing feature of that cogent speaker that
didn't make your eyelids heavy with sleep He would have had the knack to maneuver
all your thinking, listening and visual channels towards him.

Closer observation would reveal that change of tone at the appropriate time,
fluency in language, and proper translation of thoughts into words make his speech
all the more appealing. He is able to give you what you want to hear and what he
wanted to give the audience in terms of knowledge. And when this success ratio is
unity, you never skip a word from the speaker. Communication skills are an important
forte and they add a very important dimension to your personality.

v1.0 可编辑可修改

When you communicate clearly and openly, you always make your wants, needs and
doubts obvious. This clarity is essential to market yourself and synchronizes
yourself with other two-legged intellectuals like you. You may not be that well
qualified, but with good communication skills you can crack your interview and you
can sell yourself convincingly. You then don't try to fill in a vacancy in a company
but make a place for yourself.

Some of the essential tips for communication include:

Be clear, concise and straightforward.

Keep your sentences short. This will avoid grammatical mistakes.

Look into the eyes of the person you are speaking to. This gives a glimpse of
your sincerity and dedication to the other person.

Even if you slip up somewhere, maintain your calm, apologize and continue. Don't
try to reanalyze such slip ups, because we wish to promote ourselves and not demote.

So from now on communicate clearly, properly and openly, as after all the world
doesn't know what you need. Does it

7. Keep Your Cool

Everyone would have heard the famous phrase Anger is one short of danger
is an age-old adage, but it is tested and still holds true. Thing said or done during
anger have created havoc with a lot of people and things. the tightly packed bag
of mental frustration erupts into a volcano of anger.

But basically lets try to analyses why one gets angry When one is not satisfied
12
v1.0 可编辑可修改
with the way things have gone, when someone has been taken in for a ride, when one
blames life for treating him badly, and many such trivial things are the various
reasons. All the frustrations get collected on one part of our mind and when we can
bear it no longer, our feelings are vented in the form of a volcano of emotional
tantrums. Anger is one of the major hindrances in self-development, because it
narrows our outlook. The mind looses its sense of logic and fairness, when it is
accelerated by the arrogant mood of anger.

Getting angry can get your things done somewhere, but not everywhere. This is
because as you grow, you yourself are responsible to clean your recycle bin of
emotions and frustrations. No one has the foresight or capacity to judge what has
bought you to that violent mood or what hardships you have faced. Angry people hardly
go places. The closer one comes to this piece of reality, the better he will get.

The best way to counterattack anger is to imbibe patience in ourselves. A person
with infinite patience has matured mentally, and is the bravest war-horse over the
path of anger. He controlled himself every time and got away from trying
circumstances using the best lifeline available. Such people are always in peace
with themselves and always enjoying life.

Anger is never good and it increases anxiety levels of the individual. When one
is angry, the heart pumps a lot more blood than the normal capacity and hence it
leads to high blood pressure. This may also cause a heart attack. So always be like
the hard working duck, which is calm and composed by its expressions, but padding
like the hell at the bottom. For human beings this means that, we have to keep moving
in life by hard work. Never let disappointment and frustrations rule you. You make
your own future and destiny, by following the right attitude.

13
v1.0 可编辑可修改
After all, it's all in a state of mind. Everyone has two opinions. One is anger
and the other is maintaining your composure through patience. I choose the latter
one. What have you chosen





Listen to your heart

Yesterday ,someone asked me what is the greatest skill for successful
salesperson to possess.

I answered,“the ability to listen.“ He agreed with me. But the ability
to listen is not only important in selling .It is also important when
buying ,managing ,talking with our mates or friends .In fact ,communication is next
to impossible if we don’t listen .listening is also important when praying and
meditating .Then heart of a servant requires listening .And if discovering our
purpose is the process of discovering how we can most impact the world through
offering service (the act of servant-hood) then listening must truly be an asset
to discovering our purpose as well.

Many psychiatrists explain the way to communicate better (and succeed in
relationships) is by listening better. By not thinking just being involved in
listening adroitly to another person, we may experience a new way of knowing this
person for who they really is.

Many motivational speakers and psychologists talk about going after “what
you desire“ as discovering your purpose .In the Tao there is a thought that “when
there is no desire there is peace“(from Tao Te China) .Knowing what we desire is
14
v1.0 可编辑可修改
insufficient.

Perhaps ,a way to listen is to remove“desire“ from our mind. Instead of
focusing on what we want ,we may be alert...aware...paying attention to the signals
our body ,mind ,spirit and heart .Speak to us .When we walk in nature and say
nothing ,nature talks to us .Then wind blows quietly through the limbs on the
trees .Grasses rustle and leaves blow across the ground .The clouds move about the
sky and cast shadows working with the sun shining behind them. In the same way ,our
body speaks to us when we become quiet ,meditative ,and shut down our
“conscience- level“ mind .In eliminating the chatter noise in our head and focusing
on the quiet ,we can eventually reach a state of being where we are aware of our
inner needs.

This takes time .It can be accomplished through meditation .I can’t be
accomplished by writing down lists of goals (our desires) nor can it be accomplished
by telling other people what we think (speaking in not listening)

It requires listening .Let’s think of one question to close this chapter.
When am I the happiest When am I most relaxed When am I most excited When am I feel
most loved

The answer to this question in listening is often the answer to our purpose.

In listening to our heart we can awaken a deeper sense of understanding
of who we really are .We can also become more emotional and loving to
people ,animals ,and nature around us .People who listen are more successful in
business ,life and in living their purpose.
